Inability of a man to have or maintain an erection in order for sexual intercourse to take place is called erectile dysfunction. Impotence varies in severity; some men have a total inability to achieve an erection, others have an inconsistent ability to achieve an erection, and still others can sustain only brief erections.Impotence falls into two broad categories, impotence caused by a physical condition and that caused by a psychological condition.
Sometimes impotence due to a physical condition may be worsened by a psychological component. The treatment of impotence should always include treatment of the underlying cause as well.Experts have estimated that erectile dysfunction affects 30 million men in the Untied States.Impotence can nearly always be treated - 95 percent of men find a suitable treatment. The simplest are talking therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, and medicines.

Natural Treatment
Genuine yohimbe bark (which does contain the alkaloid yohimbine) is purchased in bulk by the pharmaceutical industry that produces yohimbine tablets (primarily Plantecam in Cameroon). Pseudo yohimbe bark, which is much cheaper but contains almost no yohimbine alkaloid, is sold to the manufacturers of health supplements.Yohimbine appears to work better for erectile dysfunction not caused by a physical problem.
A study examined whether 30 mg/day of yohimbine for 4 weeks would help men with erectile dysfunction not due to a physical problem.Its up to you if you choose Medical or Natural treatment.
Medicine Help
There are now three different types of medicine known as phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitors. The most well-known of these is sildenafil (Viagra). There are two other similar medicines called tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra) that work in the same way. All three medicines cause the blood vessels in your penis to relax so more blood can flow into it, leading to an erection.
